GARDEN MARKERS.
Improved Implement. That Can B. Mad. ;
The old fashioned garden marker !
whicli one has to pull over the ground
is not satisfactory. If one wants to gee ;
what one is doing with one of them it is
necessary to ga backward, like a river
crab; with a marker that is to be pushed
the operator can keep the direction much
easier, and see whether he makes straight
marks or crooked ones.
The roller marker is all right. Any
ligltt garden roller will do, even if made
PUSH MA.RKKR3.
rather roughly out of a piece of oak or
chestnut log, say three feet long and a
foot or so m diameter. Stretch a clothes
line across (or, better, two, to make two
marks at once), and then roll the roller
along over them. .. This makes good
mirks for setting plants, etc., and you
can make them perfectly straight in this
manner, n task not quite so easy with
the ordinary marker. Still, it will do
well enough if pieces of rope are last
ened around the roller, the required
distance apart, one for each mark.
Two more styles of push markers are
also illustrated in Farm and Fireside,
from which we quote. The simplest of
these and most quickly made is shown
in Fig. I. Take three pieces of board,
say fifteen incbes long, rounaea ou
sleigh runner fashion; have them the
proper distance apart: nail a piece across
the top on the straight side and fasten a
handle as shown. This is easily pushed
ahead and will make a good mark.
A barrow marker is shown in Fig. 2.
The illustration makes an explanation
unnecessary. Have the teeth slanting
slightly backward. One great advan
tage of the roller marker is that you
can make cross marics at tne same
time. Simply pail pieces of rope or
clothesline lengthwise of the roller at
the desired distances, between the pieces
fastened around the roller. The roller
thus arranged is shown in Ficr. 8.
VARIETIES AR HXED.
Apparent
Modification and Deteriora
tion Considered.
Much is said of the deterioration of
varieties, caused, it is claimed, by in
correct propagation. Every practical
student in horticulture knows there is
nothing in it. There is no such thing as
deterioration of any variety of tree or
plant from different modes of propaga
tion. The peculiarities of all varieties
of trees are fined for all time in the
ovaries of the flower in which the seed
producing the variety was matured.
When pollination is completed and the
embryo seed well started in growth,
thenceforth its variety is fixed. No
power known on this earth can change
it in the least.
For instance, the Bartlett pear Is one
of the oldest varieties in cultivation, yet
we find it today exactly the same as it
was when it matured itB first fruit. It
has not changed in the least minute par
ticular; and if one could live and experi
ment with it a hundred or more years
by gifting it on the twenty or more
species on which it can be made to
grow, and budding it, and growing it
from cuttings of its wood or roots, or
reproducing the trees in any other pos
sible way, he would in the end have the
same old Bartlett pear. Varieties may,
and do, wear out. and deteriorate in
particular soils and climate. Such de
terioration is due to the nature of the
oil, climate or other causes, and not to
deterioration of the plant or tree itself.
Carry a portion of it, such as bud or
graft or small tree to a different country
witn soil and climate adapted and where
the variety had not been grown before,
and it will flourish as finely as ever and
be exactly the same.
These thoughts are suggeated by read -
ing an article in The Amencan Oarden
by B. M. Kellogg of Michigan on the
deterioration of the old Wilson straw
berry. Such papers read very nicely
though there may not be one word of
truth in the whole argument, which is
the case in the paper referred to so for
as that strawberry is concerned. The
genuine Wilson strawberry is just as
good or bad, perfect or imperfect, pro
ductive or non-productive today as it
was the day it produced itB first fruit.
All plants of it in existence are a part of
the original. It may wear out but noth
ing can change its original characteris
tics. That it has not deteriorated in the
leat is readily proved by its crop each
year. The secret of the supposed deteri
oration as I found it in twenty-five years
cultivation of the variety lies in the fact
that it is a great variety to produce
5
I seemings. meae come up in neglected
: plantations after the first year. Many
of these seetllinss look like the true Wil-
-.I son. No one would be able to disting
uish all the seedlings from the true
plant. Most of these seedlings make
runners or stolens much more abund
antly than the mother plant and many
of them having greater size and vigot
6m"'"or ?"
ni ton neglected for five years prob-
W-T would, not have one pure Wilson
PIant. left- wouid sP'y be a bed of
Pcl iuuuiiua ut v
rielies as has been the case in many in
stances. Therefore Mr. Kellogg's pedi
gree plants, grown from labeled, highly
cultivated, plants, are simply the old
genuine Wilson.- Or it is barely possi
ble as may have been the case with Mr.
Bmith, a seedling nearly exactly like the
old true Wilsou, but a little better, has
been, saved for a breeder. Varieties do
not change except rarely from fruiting
by being pollinated by another variety.
Seed aione will rarely produce chutige
except by bud variation. D. B. W.

: CONCLUDED.
lyeaddle, with its gundv pair of rei
blankets, was an elegant leather mounter)
affair presented by the VValbridge-Dutti'ii
Sheep, Land & Hoss Compauv, incor
porated, as au iudnoement to leave tin
oonutry and thus save from destructiol
a dozen n'lj bare vested she.-p who ven
properly feared malpraotioe in shearing.
Hard riding for a few days of twenty
four hours each brought me into tin
heart and stomaoh of the beautiful Blue
Mountains, nnd just lis the boot-owlr
ind hlutiMs were tolling the midnight
hour I discovered a large lodge-pole trui
of a hostile war party.
It was naturally datk in those eternal
woods, and the odor of ink was inteusi
fie I by the prevailing pitch on the stir
rouusliiig Christmas bunded, "liiub are
almost always green. Wilh my twin I
woodcraft I avoided letting the trail dis
cover ine until I had my WBr-horse's fuel
rull nuon it, and tlien it onuld not rise
up and walk uwny. Escape was impos
sible. Shortly after, single-handed and alone.
I surrounded the hostile ounip, consist'
ing of 6l0 warriors, 185 dogs, 2,000 horsea
Hini 800 women and children. T'bcoamp
lay in a bluze of elt ctrio lights lurnished
hy fetir pitoh-piue lot's standing eight)
feet high. Some of the Indians rested
in their arms, some ou their elbows and
some snored loudly while resting ou
their stomachs.
After having my horse curried and fed
grain end bay at one of the livery stables
of the village I squatted on the seat of
uiy overalls and watched a big game of
steamboat poker, in which the well
known Fiute fish horn gambler, Faddy
Cepps, was fleecing twenty other lujuns
out of the bard earned wages tbey had
i a veil up since going on the war path.
A hostile camp in the middle of the
night is bulb wild and weird, and the
olps hanging from the lower limbs of
the trees sadly sigh iu the night wind for
the heads they used to coyer,
I'retty soon Chief Eagan oame out nf
his elegant maiqnee made of ooyote hides
and bulrush skins, and greeted me kind
ly. I told him I whs sorry to find him
again on the wnrpnlb, after he had
sured me only a year before, while we
. ' r ,
were hunting antelope aronnd Hossrook
mountains that be would never go to
war again. He pathetically told how
the Fort Hull Indians bad inched his
people to war; that he oppostd il, hut
whs overruled; he was beroditary war
chief, and bud to lead whenever tho ma
j'irity got ready to follow; he would lead
them till be died, and give them their
stomachs full ol fighting before they got
through with it.
A council was then called of the lead
ing editors aud publishers of the tribe.
We sunatted around the ragged edge of
a saildle blanket, placing our plug hats
in the center. I af.ked for Buffalo Horn,
but wns informed he had died two dsys
before, having been shot at South Moun
tain in the Owyhee, while leading a
1 .
charg't Hgainst Harpai'g volunteers, who
had come out from Kilver Cily under one
f the New York publish rs who happen
ed to be there Helling some books.
Chiel Oris II, eu took ihe floor, and as
his stenographer recorded with bis type
writer every word ba it fell, be went ou
to ssy: "For 800 years last past we
have fought onr way through the world
and have made a live of it along the Mal
heur, Ten years ago Colonel Meachsm
and One Arm Brown gave us the Mal
heur Reservation They kep their prom
tses with us, and Sam Parriah, as agent,
bas spent as high as $0,000,000 a year ou
as. He bas held feasts where he gave
us six donghuuts apiece all around, and
every mother's son of us got two blauk
ets and an umbrella. Parrish was h
good man, and Captain Bendire at Camp
Harney, was a good man. But the Wasn
ington City men gave us to Major Rhine
utirt, who, in the past year, tans given lit
not over 2,000,000 worth of flour and
uo doughnuts. He has misrepresented
us to the world by printing in his de
partment reports that 'our question war
settled the Piute will work.' We repu
diate what be says of us. Instead of
giving us flour and pure Prioe baking
powder he told us to go to the river and
catch fish w ben he well knew that the
aahnon would not bite. I have spoken."
So one dated to dispute the truth ot the
last seutence.
I then ordered a sub-chief to unload
from my saddle-pookets 2,000 haud
unrrors and 10,000 fresh fried doughnut
mat I had brought along from Heppner.
When these presents were distrihuttd
everybody felt better.
1 then offered the tribe 3500,000 iu
oash and the whole state of Massac hus
aetts with all the baked beauajthen grow
ing there for a leservution, also part ot
Rhode lslaud fur a hunting giouud il
ihey wouid discontinue the war. Afiei
a long parley they the proposition was
aooeptud by Professor Jim, the minister
of finance and bell-wether of the pack-
train, I gave them a quit-claim deed to

This is unwritten history.
There was an Indian named Tom Bell
in the outfit with whom I bad much in
duei.ee. Several times when we were
uuutiug iu the rough Malheur, he had
oeeu fool enough to obey me when I or
dered him to run down mountain sheen
afoot. He was now acting as eeoretar.i
of the navy for the tribe and oould 1
have had an audience with him I coulo
have got him to stop the war. Hut bt
was confined to his room by indisposi
tion. Ouly three davs before his conk
mil made a clerical error by putting com
uil instead of vauilla into the ice omiti
and Tom had eateu heurtily of it. Next
morning be left a porthole note on the
Kitchen stove telling the cook that tht
est of friends must part, etc., enclosing
hack salary due and advising the oook to
j.iiit his company or else become dog
robber for some enemy.
Before going Chief War-Jack said thai
if I would, within three dnys, deposit to
nis order the $500,000 in silver with Hugh
MtQuaid, the pioneer miner at Snanin
ville, well kuon to be an honest man
the w ar would ceuse.
I jogged along. At about daylight, in
behalf of the people of the whole Nurth
west, I telegraobed the Secretary ot th
Interior that Liie Indians were shooting
at UH, and advising him to take whatev
er action be saw fit In the mailer.
Two days after I ran against Colonel
F.J. Parker, who, all alone, was driving
a bund of Weiser Indians ahead of him.
He bad cut them off from the muie
war party, aud said that as soon as he
hived them at Fort Walla Walla he
would return nnd join mo.
Then several battles ensued, and Chiel
Egan was shot near the Meaohnin road
hy Umapine'a TJmatilla's.
One day I met gnuipson, a Mulbeui
Indian who was stone blind, coming it
under a flag of truce. He complained to
me that the soldiers wero violati g the
347th artiole of war, aud I hut in all hit
experience be had never seen soldiers do
so before.
I immediately telegraphed the oom-
i t.lHiut to tleueral hiiermau aesitig wnai
B101,,i do, and to this day I have nev
,lniut to General Sherman asking what
er received an answer.
Then the tight weut on again. Capttiin
Bendire and Captain Miles, with then
mixed outfit of troopers and doughboy,
defnatvd the hosliles at Caytl-e station,
and so effectually proteoted that point
that the scouts f mud a nice mess of set
ting hens in the barn to stay their stom
achs next day.
I did not like the looks of the snldicrs'

tents at Cayuse, so I ordered forty ton
of clean sand to floor them with, paying
for it with my personal check oo the
tth Fifth National Bank of Wallula.
Then the long chase toward the Meinour
began. On the rough north fork of John
Day the Indians fixed an ambush aud
poured a hot fire into the advance scouts.
The accidental discharge of Jack Galla
gher's carbine prevented a massaore, so
only Scout Frohman was killed and a
few others wounded. An Indian named
Bully Krick Bill shot a chunk of railroad
ron at me from the mouth of bis old
Yager rifle, and J hnd him oourt martial-
ed for it at the close of the oampaigu.
It came end over end, buzzing like a
saw-mill, and penetrated six inches into
the log behind which I was equatting.
So Bill was also proseouted for defacing
Government timber.
I directed Ueneral Forsythe to detnch
the gallant Lieutenant Pitcher with Col
onel Bernard's troop dismounted and
flank the enemy. This was done to my
entire satisfaction as will be seen by re
port of the affair to the Seorctary of War
soon after. The boys clambered up au
awfully rough mountain nnd finally drove
off the Indians.
Father Conrudi, w ho afterward went
to sacrifice himself among the lepers, lost
thirty pounds of flesh that day iu pro
fuse perspiration. He went down the
mouutain in the faoe of a murderous fire
aud climbed up agaiu with cix oauteens

ing up with fever aud famishiug with
thirst, A wounded mau of but twenty

aud etill not burst off the hoops.
The good father bad a good chanoe to
cool off the following night, when the
fall trusts nipped and bit us on Desola
tion Meadows, an elevated place where
tomatoes rarely ripen unless packed in
cans. Shivering scouts were the rule
that night,

Editor Gazette: I pen you a few
items from from Jordou Fork
Farmers are busy seeding. There will
b a larger aorenge sown this full than
there bus ever been here, and the people
tre geuenilly well and hopeful, looking
forward for uetter times.
Our Grunge hall is nearing completion;
iz- 20x40. We expect a good time the
coming winter, and quite a number nf
our farmers are away iu other parts, but
uoBt of them will return shortly.
Well Mr. Editor, while the crops were
looking so poor aud everybody looking
ao despondent, one I dny oumposed a few
verses as follows :
(Tune "Kxiles return.")
Oh, why did 1 settle in tho desert and plain,
W here the sun browns the green earth and it
never duth rain,
Where the sand toads and liards make tracks
ill the sand
I'll away looUl ocean, I'll walk on the strand.
Choiiuh:
oh why does despondency weigh down my
breast,
The green nekls have withered and the harvest
is pant,
I'd rather be an exile for twenty long years
Ulan to giue ou uiy fortune In fait lalliug tears.
Come all you Jolly rovers who ever you may
be,
ft's Journey Jngether down to the blue sea.
Where we can Hunt and can Hell and liav a good
time.
And iei on wild elk meat the rest of our time.
Cuoatia:
1 had rather own one acre of bind,
laiwn rlime by Uiu beach ou tliu old ocean
st rami,
Than to toil and to till a hundred or more.
And spend all uiy best ilns to die very poor.
Oho. :
Here In this blest (
mutry we may toil all the
year,
Cor 1'1,'lltlin: and groceries we pay very dear.
Ah for m-liiiiilB and lor chinches we scarcely can
iHIIIMt,
Hut for " earing and dancing we can beat all
the coast.
